Modeling PBX 9501 overdriven release experiments

2008 
We show the failure of the standard Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state (EOS) in modeling the overdriven release experiments of PBX 9501. The deficiency can be tracked back to inability of the same EOS in matching the shock pressure and the sound speed on the Hugoniot in the hydrodynamic regime above the Chapman-Jouguet pressure. After adding correction terms to the principal isentrope of the standard JWL EOS, we are able to remedy this shortcoming and the simulation is successful.
